1-1 Fiery X3e on the network

This chapter summarizes the stages in setting up the Fiery X3e, and includes diagrams

that refer you to other chapters or other manuals for completing your installation.

Check those references to find the information you need quickly.

Fiery X3e on the networkWhen the Fiery X3e is connected to a network, it behaves as a networked PostScript

printer. The built-in Ethernet interface on the Fiery X3e supports the following

network protocols:

AppleTalk

TCP/IP (the lpd, nbt, and http protocols)

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The lpd

protocol is the standard TCP/IP printing protocol. The nbt protocol supports

Windows (SMB) printing. The port 9100 is the printer server port number to

publish print connections between the print server and a remote computer. The http

protocol is commonly used for Web pages on the Internet and on intranets. The http

protocol also supports IPP printing.

IPX/SPX (Novell)

IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange.

These protocols (rules that enable computers on a network to communicate with each

other) are supported on Mac OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms and can run

concurrently on the same cable. Workstations that use other protocols can print

through a server that uses one of the protocols mentioned.

When you add the Fiery X3e to a network, it is assumed that a network administrator

has already installed a network cabling system and connected workstations and servers.

1-2 Connecting to the Network

Stages of installation on the network

Installation can be performed by a network or printing administrator. The stages of a

successful installation are:

Physically connecting the Fiery X3e to a functioning network

Prepare a network node for the Fiery X3eobtain cable, route it to the location where

the Fiery X3e will be installed, and attach the cable to the network interface. Fordetails, see page 3-8.

Configuring the network server

When network servers are required, you need to configure those servers to provide

client access to the Fiery X3e as a PCL or PostScript printer. For information on

configuring network servers in Windows and UNIX network environments, see

Chapter 2.

Setting up the Fiery X3e

Quick path to installation

The diagrams on the following pages show typical systems you can use to print and run

Fiery software from remote workstations. Find the page with your preferred platform

and network type, and then look up the setup procedures referenced in the Key to

setup in the upper-left corner of each diagram.

The diagrams describe devices that use the supported networking protocols. They arelogical diagrams and are not intended to describe the physical arrangement (topology)

of devices on the network. A variety of physical arrangements is possible with each

logical arrangement. For example, twisted pair Ethernet networks commonly use a star

configuration around a hub, rather than a bus arrangement. The design of physical

networks is beyond the scope of this manual.

If your network uses more than one protocol or more than one type of workstation,combine the setups listed for each component of your system. Multiple protocols

(shown in the diagrams as parallel lines) can run on the same cable. A solid connection

from the Fiery X3e with an arrow indicates that other supported network types can be

operational at the same time.

25/190

2 This chapter describes environments that typically include one or more networkserversNovell NetWare servers and Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 serversthat share printing to the Fiery X3e. It describes setting up servers that use IPX/SPXor TCP/IP protocols for communicating with the Fiery X3e. In addition, it

includes guidelines for setting up direct communication fromWindows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations or UNIX workstations,

where a network server is optional. This chapter also outlines the requirements for

users to print to the Fiery X3e and run Fiery utilities and WebTools.

The Fiery X3e can accept jobs concurrently from NetWare,

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, and AppleShare servers, as well as jobs sent

directly from Windows or UNIX workstations. Because AppleShare servers require no

special configuration, they are not discussed in this chapter, except for use in a

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 environment (see Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP

network with Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 in the following section).

If your network is based on Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003, proceed to the

following section. For information on UNIX workstations, proceed to page 2-17.

Fiery X3e on a TCP/IP network withWindows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003

When a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computer is configured to

connect to the Fiery X3e using TCP/IP, it can print directly to the Fiery X3e. If

the computer shares the printer over the network, it is acting as a print server to

Windows clients. Client computers print to the Fiery X3e by printing to the

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server. You can then monitor andcontrol printing at the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server computer.

Print server running Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstation and

clients running Windows 98/Me

With TCP/IP protocols loaded, you can run Fiery utilities and WebTools from aWindows computer.

Tips for expertsWindows with TCP/IP

Setting up printing from Windows using TCP/IP protocols is similar to setting up

UNIX workstations with TCP/IP. When TCP/IP network connections are made from

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations, note the following:

Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and any workstations that will

print to it or run the Fiery utilities.

In Fiery X3e Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway

address for the Fiery X3e.

Enter these addresses manually or use DHCP or BOOTP protocols to assign them

dynamically.

Make sure the Fiery X3e name and address are listed in a domain name server (DNS) or

hosts name database used by your system.

Make sure the system host table includes the correct internal name for the Fiery X3e

as a remote printer.

For more information, see page 2-18.

For Windows, install the appropriate printer driver files on theWindows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server.

For more information, see the User Software Installation Guide.

Repeat the installation for all users who print to the Fiery X3e.

Each server and workstation running the Fiery utilities with TCP/IP also needs the

TCP/IP protocol and the Fiery utility software.



27/190

2Configuring a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server tocommunicate with the Fiery X3e

To configure a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to communicate with the

Fiery X3e, follow these general steps. More detail is provided in subsequent sections in

this chapter and in your Microsoft documentation.

Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the server and configure it with an IP address,

subnet mask, and gateway.

Enter the host name of the Fiery X3e in the host database used by your system (see

page 2-4).

Perform Fiery X3e Setup.

On the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, create a printer for each Fiery X3e

print connection, install the appropriate printer drivers, and (optionally) share the

printer on the network (see page 2-5).

Enter the host name and remote printer name of the Fiery X3e in the printer

connection. For more information, see page 2-18.

If the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is also a workstation, install Fiery

utilities (see the User Software Installation Guide).



28/190

2Adding the Fiery X3e to the TCP/IP network

If your TCP/IP network consists of Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 servers and

Windows clients, follow the procedures in this section. If the network includes UNIX

workstations, also see the procedures on page 2-19.

TOADDTHE FIERY X3ETOA TCP/IP NETWORKWITHA

WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER1. Register the IP address of the Fiery X3e in the host name database used by

your system.

For installations that do not have a network administrator or central host

name database, add the Fiery X3e to the hosts file on the

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server. Also add it to the hosts file on any

workstations that have TCP/IP loaded and will use the Fiery utilities.

The Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 hosts file provides compatibility with the

UNIXhosts file. The hosts file is used as a local Domain Name Services (DNS)

equivalent. It has the same format as the/etc/hosts file on UNIX servers. The format

of the hosts entry is:

IP Addresshost name#comments

where indicates that you press the Tab key.

To determine the IP address and server name of your system, print a Configurationpage (see page 7-8).

NOTE: If the Fiery X3e has already been defined in an /etc/hosts file or equivalent host

name database on a UNIX workstation on your network, we recommend you use the

same host name here as you used for the name of the remote printer in the

/etc/printcap file.

2. Perform Fiery X3e Setup to support TCP/IP printing.

Enter the options in Protocol Setup (IP address of the Fiery X3e, subnet mask, and

gateway address).



29/190

2Installing the Fiery X3e as a shared printer

The first step in creating a printer is installing the printer driver files, which give your

applications access to printer features. You can use the installation instructions in the

User Software Installation Guidefor every workstation that will print directly and

independently to the Fiery X3e. However, if you are an administrator running a

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server

2003 workstation, you can also create a printer and share it with clients on the

network. This allows clients who do not have permission to establish an independentnetwork connection to the Fiery X3e to print through the server.

You can specify sharing of the printer during installation of the Fiery X3e printer

files. If you have not yet installed the Fiery X3e printer files on the

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server computer, do so now, following

the instructions in the User Software Installation Guide. During installation, enter the

information necessary to share the Fiery X3e.

If you have already installed the Fiery X3e printer files on the computer you are using

as a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server, see your Windows

documentation for information about sharing the Fiery X3e.

If more than one Fiery X3e print connection is published (for example, if both the

Print queue and the Hold queue are published), you may want to create a printer foreach print connection, so that you and other users can print to each connection

directly. When prompted to specify the printer name, enter a name that indicates the

Fiery X3e print connection.

30/190

2Configuring clients of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 serverEach client of a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server is already using a network

protocol to communicate with the server. Each client can print to the Fiery X3e if it

has been shared by a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, or

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 computer. In that case, the client does not

have to use the same network protocol to connect to the

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server as the server uses to communicate with the

Fiery X3e.

TOCONNECTANDPRINTTO THE FIERY X3ESHAREDBY A WINDOWS NT 4.0/2000/SERVER 2003 SERVER

For Windows 98/Me clients: Before printing, double-click the

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server icon in the Network Neighborhood window,

and then double-click the printer name.You are prompted to set up the printer. When you choose to set it up, the Add Printer

Wizard dialog box appears. Follow the procedures in the User Software

InstallationGuide.

For Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Windows 2000 Server clients: Before printing, connect

to the print server computer and select the Fiery X3e. Right-click and choose the Open

command.

When prompted, click Yes to have Windows set up the printer.

After clients have selected the printer, they can choose it from the Print Setup,

Page Setup, or Print dialog box of their application. Clients can change printing

options for their own job, but printer properties appear dimmed, and unavailable

for changing. When a client chooses Print, the job is transmitted to the

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server, and from there to the selected

print connection on the Fiery X3e. The job is listed in the Print Manager on the

client workstation, and the administrator can track it in the Fiery X3e window in the

Print Manager on the Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 print server.

2Configuring Windows computers without aWindows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server

If your network does not have a Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server, Windows

workstations can still print to the Fiery X3e. This method of printing is called

Windows, or SMB printing. In this type of network environment, computers running

Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 Workstations operate

in a peer-to-peer environment and communicate directly with the Fiery X3e when

users send print jobs.

Many of the same prerequisites for setting up printing through a

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server also apply to setting up Windows

printing where a server is not present. The prerequisites are summarized in the

following list, and you can find more detail in your Microsoft documentation.

Print a Configuration page (see page 5-36).

Use the information on this page to determine the current Fiery X3e settings.

Load the TCP/IP network protocol on the computer (for Windows 98/Me, load File and

printer sharing for Microsoft Network. For Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 load Client

for Microsoft Networks).

In the Windows Network Control Panel, verify the Workgroup name of the computer.

Make sure that the Workgroup name is the same as the one listed in Fiery X3e Setup.

For Windows 98/Me, in the File and printer sharing for Microsoft Network Properties

dialog box, specify Automatic or Enabled for Browse Master, and select Yes for

LMAnnounce.

For Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, in the Client for Microsoft Networks Properties

dialog box, configure the computer to allow file sharing, and then restart the

computer.

Ping the Fiery X3e to verify TCP/IP communication is successful (see page 2-19).



32/190

2Fiery X3e on a NetWare networkThe NetWise features built into the Fiery X3e support the following network

operating environments:

NetWareNDS (Novell Directory Services)

Servers running NetWare in bindery emulation mode

NOTE: The term Netware is used to refer to Netware 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator

privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

NOTE: The iPrint feature available with NetWare 6.x is not supported.

The term bindery server is used to refer to a Novell file server running NetWare in

emulation mode. The term NDS is used to describe components of a NetWare

operating system running NetWare in native mode.

NetWare clients print to the Fiery X3e through the Novell network server. Server setup

and client network setup are outlined in this chapter, client printing setup is described

in the User Software Installation Guide, and printing is described in the Printing Guide.

The Fiery X3e can receive print jobs from NetWare clients over Ethernet network

topologies. During Fiery X3e Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used

for communication between the Fiery X3e and network servers. Frame type refers to

the format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when

the NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

2Tips for expertsIPX networksSetting up the Fiery X3e is similar to setting up any other PostScript printer on

the network.

The Fiery X3e with IPX connections has the following characteristics:

A minimum connection to the Fiery X3e consists of a NetWare file server, a NetWare

print server, and a NetWare queue.

A single directory tree and up to eight bindery servers can be configured

simultaneously.

The Fiery X3e looks for print jobs on one NetWare print server per bindery server.

Each print server can store jobs for any print connection on the Fiery X3e.

Overview of IPX printing to the Fiery X3e

NetWare file servers support the creation of print queues, which are storage areas for

print jobs. When a client on a remote computer decides to print, the job is directed to

a print queue on the NetWare file server and spooled to the NetWare server disk,

freeing up the client workstation.

You must give the NetWare queue names a specific extension corresponding to theFiery X3e print connection, as follows:

_print_hold_direct

NOTE: These extension names must be in English and in all lowercase letters.



34/190

2You do not need to rerun Setup when you add or remove a NetWare queue; however,you should restart the Fiery X3e after you create or remove a queue.

When the Fiery X3e is configured to connect to a NetWare server, it polls the NetWare

server for jobs in each of its queues. If jobs are found, they are automatically transferred

over the network to the matching connection on the Fiery X3e. For example, jobs

from the NetWare queue with the _print extension are sent to the Fiery X3e Print

queue. While a job is processed and printed, a record of the job is being created. Youcan access the Job Log containing these records at any time.

Configuring a NetWare server for printing

The following sections explain how to set up a NetWare file server so networked users

can print to the Fiery X3e from their workstations, and the Fiery X3e can obtain print

jobs from the NetWare server.

For each NetWare file server that you configure, follow these general steps. More detail

is provided in subsequent sections and in your NetWare documentation.

Make sure the server is connected to a functioning IPX network.

Log in as the Supervisor on a PC connected to the NetWare file server.

For NetWare installations, set up an NDS connection (see page 2-12).

For NetWare in emulation mode, set the bindery context (see page 2-12).

For NetWare in bindery emulation, set up a file server, print server, and print queue

for the Fiery X3e (see page 2-13).

With bindery services, you can route all Fiery X3e print jobs through the same

NetWare file server, or you can configure more than one file server to handle

Fiery X3e jobs.

The functions you perform on the Novell server, the Fiery X3e, and the client

workstation are summarized in the following tables. The first table applies to NDS

connections, and the second to bindery connections. Complete the operations in the

left column, then the center column, then the right column.

36/190

2Setting up an NDS connectionIn NDS, all NetWare entities (objects) are organized in a hierarchical tree structure.

Objects have a name, properties, and a context that defines the location of the object

in the directory tree. For the Fiery X3e, you are mainly concerned with defining a

printer, a print server object, and one or more print queue objects. Objects are created

in NetWare administrator programs such as PCONSOLE, NETADMIN, or

NetWareAdministrator.

The top-level tree object is known as the [Root] object. The name of the [Root] object

is also the name of the tree. Below the [Root] are other objects: either containers

(which consist of other objects) or leaf objects (which do not contain other objects).

Access to objects is controlled by rights that are defined as properties of each object.

Rights are established by network administrators.

Setting the NetWare bindery contextYou can connect only one directory tree to the Fiery X3e. If you need to connect

additional NetWare servers, you can do so by using bindery emulation. You can

connect up to eight bindery servers to the Fiery X3e.

NOTE: The file server you select must not be in the same tree as the one you selected in

NDS Setup.

In order to set up the NetWare server in bindery emulation mode for printing to the

Fiery X3e, the network administrator must do the following:

Determine the Directory Services path to the container in which the print server and

the print queue for the Fiery X3e will be created.

The container defines the bindery context for your network structure.

Edit the network startup file to set the bindery context. Activate the new bindery context.

the Fiery X3e are created and configured from NetWare Print Console (PCONSOLE),

a NetWare utility that is stored in the NetWare PUBLIC directory.

As with NDS, you can create several NetWare entities on a Novell server, and you can

then select them in Network Setup.

Setting up NetWare Windows clients for printing

Before setting up client workstations for printing, perform Network Setup (see

page 4-9), and verify that the settings reflect the entities you created in the NetWare

administrator utilities (see page 2-10).

NOTE: For printing to the Fiery X3e, connect all Windows clients to a NetWare server

and permit them to connect to the Netware print server or servers on which youdefined a NetWare print queue for the Fiery X3e.

After the Novell server and the Fiery X3e have been set up, client setup consists of:

Installing the networking protocol, binding it to the network adapter card, and

permitting the client to log in to the NetWare file server.

On Windows 98/Me workstations, load both the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and

the Client for NetWare Networks from the Network Control Panel.

On Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstations, install Client Services for

NetWare. Use the CSNW option in the Control Panel to set printing options and

specify a preferred NetWare server.

Setting up the Fiery X3e as a PostScript printer by installing a PostScript printer

driver and the Fiery X3e PPD (PostScript printer description).

Adding a network port and connecting the workstation to one or more NetWare

queues that have been defined for the Fiery X3e.

Installing Fiery X3e software, such as color reference files.

For details, see the User Software Installation Guide.

2Fiery X3e on a NetWare network with NDPSThe Fiery X3e supports printing over a NetWare 5.x or later network running either

the TCP/IP protocols or the IPX protocol. For pure IP printing, the Fiery X3e takes

advantage of features in NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services). For IPX printing,

the Fiery X3e supports the PServer service in Bindery emulation or through NDS

(Novell Directory Services). For more information on IPX-based printing, see

Fiery X3e on a NetWare network on page 2-8.

NOTE: Setting up a NetWare environment correctly requires the presence and active

cooperation of the Novell network administrator. You must have administrator

privileges on the network to create new NDS or bindery objects.

NDPS is not like earlier queue-based versions of NetWare printing. Instead, you use an

NDPS Manager and a Printer Agent, which control the tasks previously handled by a

print queue, print server, and spooler. You can also make the printer driver availablefor clients to download from Windows 98/Me and Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server

2003 computers.

During Fiery X3e Setup, you select the frame type or types that will be used for

communication between the Fiery X3e and network servers. Frame type refers to the

format of a communications packet; frame types are specified in a startup file when the

NetWare server (or any other workstation) loads its network drivers.

Tips for expertsNetWare networks

Setting up the Fiery X3e in an NDPS environment is similar to setting up any other

PostScript printer on the network. When setting up the Fiery X3e in such an

environment, refer to the following information:

Make sure you have a valid IP address for the Fiery X3e and for any workstations that

will print to it or run Fiery utilities.

In Fiery X3e Setup, enable TCP/IP and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway

address for the Fiery X3e. You can enter these manually or use DHCP or BOOTP

protocols to assign the addresses dynamically.

Bidirectional communication features in NDPS are not supported on the Fiery X3e.

2Configuring a NetWare server for printing with NDPS

Before you begin

The following procedure assumes NDPS has been installed during NetWare 5.x or

later installation and that a Broker is running on the server. Unless you have manually

unloaded the Broker, it loads and runs when you install NDPS. Make sure you are

using the latest NetWare service pack and Novell gateway. Finally, create an NDPS

Manager. For more information, see your NetWare documentation.

In Fiery X3e Setup, make sure you have enabled TCP/IP and LPD printing on the

Fiery X3e. You can ping the Fiery X3e to verify that TCP/IP communication is

successful.

Setting up the Fiery X3e printer driver

You first need to create a directory for Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 or afolder for Windows 98/Me in the NetWare server for NDPS to install the

corresponding printer driver files from the User Software CD.

Setting up the Fiery X3e on a NetWare network

Depending on the security needs at your organization, you can set up the Fiery X3e as

a Public Access printer or a Controlled Access printer. The following procedure

describes setting up a Public Access printer. You can then convert the printer to

Controlled Access if necessary. For more information, see your

NetWaredocumentation.

Fiery X3e on a network with UNIX workstations

When a UNIX workstation is configured with the lpd protocol and connected to the

Fiery X3e over a TCP/IP network, it can print directly to the Fiery X3e.

Setting up UNIX workstations requires an administrator with root privileges. After the

initial configuration, UNIX users simply submit print jobs to a named printer.

The job management tools, along with the other Fiery utilities and WebTools, are

unavailable on the UNIX platform. A Windows or Mac OS computer on the same

network as the UNIX computer that is set up to use TCP/IP for printing to the

Fiery X3e can use the job management tools to manage print jobs that originate from

all workstations on the network.



42/190

2Tips for expertsUNIX workstationsSetting up the Fiery X3e in a UNIX environment has the same requirements as setting

up any printer or new device:

A distinct IP address is required for the Fiery X3e as well as for each workstation on

the network.

A name must be selected for the Fiery X3e that goes with the IP address.

The IP address of the Fiery X3e must be registered for the network in a host database,

and also on the Fiery X3e itself.

At least one print connection (Print or Hold) must be published.

The following information applies especially to the Fiery X3e:

The Fiery X3e is a printer controller that understands lpd protocols.

The Fiery X3e has a remote printer name you must use in order to communicate with it

successfully.

For details, see the following section.

Important note about the remote printer name

Whichever UNIX system you use, the name used for the remote printer (or rp in the/etc/printcap file) in configuring the Fiery X3e must be one of the following:

printhold

The remote printer name is also used when setting up a

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstation or

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server to connect to the Fiery X3e over TCP/IP.Enter the remote printer name when you set up your

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 printer, as the Name of printer or print queue

on that (lpd host) server in the Add LPR Compatible Printer dialog box.

For the Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 printer driver, enter the remote printer name

for Queue Name under LPR Settings in the Configure Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor

dialogbox.



43/190

2Setting up the Fiery X3e on TCP/IP networksEvery machine (host) on a TCP/IP network, including the Fiery X3e, must have

a unique 32-bit internet address (IP address). Contact your network administrator

to obtain an address for the Fiery X3e. Workstations on a TCP/IP network can

print directly to the Fiery X3e as a remote printer, or can print to a

Windows NT 4.0/2000/Server 2003 server or UNIX workstation acting as a print

server. Since the Fiery X3e spools jobs and acts as a print server, there is no advantage

in placing another print server between a workstation and the Fiery X3e. If you chooseto do so, however, there is no difference in setup except that a client machine does not

have its own spooling area.

TOSETUP FIERY X3EPRINTINGON UNIX SYSTEMS

1. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery X3e Network Setup.

Enter a valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery X3e.

2. Specify the appropriate settings in Fiery X3e Printer Setup.

Publish the Print queue, Hold queue, and/or Direct queue.

TOSETUP TCP/IP FORCOMMUNICATIONWITHTHE FIERY X3E

1. A superuser (with root login) must add the Fiery X3e to the networks IP host table orother system database of network printers.

2. In the file or utility used by your network, specify the remote printer name, the print

server protocol, the queue, and the spool file for the Fiery X3e name you assigned.

3. Make the Fiery X3e available as a printer to other network users.

4. To verify the TCP/IP connection, ping the IP address or the host name. From any

Windows computer on the network, at the MS-DOS command prompt, type:

ping

Type the Fiery X3e IP address assigned in Fiery X3e Network Setup.



44/190

2After the Fiery X3e is set up as a network printer, you can also ping the name you gaveto the Fiery X3e:

ping

The server should respond with a message such as

Reply from ...

Some systems will respond with a continuous display of output from the IP address.To stop the output, type Control-C.You can use the ping command at any time.

TOPRINTTO THE FIERY X3E

On a UNIX system running SunOS 4.x or other BSD-based variant, use the lpr command

to send a job to the Fiery X3e.

On a UNIX system running Solaris 2.x or any System V implementation of UNIX, use

the lp command to send a job to the Fiery X3e.

Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 users with the TCP/IP protocol loaded can send

print jobs to the Fiery X3e from their applications or from a command prompt.

When Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 users print from applications, they can

set print options with the driver but not from the UNIX command line.



45/190

2Managing print jobsUNIX network administrators can use UNIX utilities for viewing the list of jobs, and

for printing and removing jobs that are spooled on UNIX servers. If the network

includes a Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 workstation that has TCP/IP

protocols loaded, you can use Command WorkStation or Fiery Downloader not only

to view the list of jobs and to print and remove jobs but also to download fonts

and files directly to the Fiery X3e. For more information on these job management

tools, see theJob Management Guide.

Even without the Fiery utilities, you can:

Set up the Fiery X3e to print a log of printed jobs automatically after every 55 jobs.

Print a Job Log manually at any time from the Command WorkStation

Functions menu (see the Job Management Guide).

33-1 Levels of access and control


47/190

3To prepare for printing at your site, you must do some initial Fiery X3e configuration,

or Setup, to specify the network environment and the kind of printing you will do.

Before you perform Setup, you must decide the levels of access you will implement for

your site. Administrators and operators must also understand how Fiery X3e system

software is structured in order to configure and use the Fiery X3e system correctly.

Levels of access and controlWhen you configure the Fiery X3e during Setup, you (as system administrator)

implement a particular level of control by enabling or not enabling print connections,

passwords, and access to WebTools. The level of control you implement can range

from minimum to moderate to maximumor none at all.

Minimum control might be appropriate for a small site where anyone on the localnetwork can control all printing and Fiery X3e functions. Although there may be an

administrator or operator charged with certain duties, all users have equal access to

the system and job management tools.

Maximum control might be appropriate for a high-volume printing environment

where an administrator or operator controls the job flow and all printing; jobs sent

by users are spooled (stored) to the Fiery X3e disk until the operator decides it is

time to print them. In addition, only the administrator and operator have access tojob management tools. This is the recommended level of control.

NOTE: The term job management tools is used in this manual to refer to

Command WorkStation, Command WorkStation LE, and Fiery Spooler.

Fiery X3e print connections

The Fiery X3e supports three print connections: Hold queue, Print queue, and Directconnection. These print connections can be enabled, or published, to users on the

network when you configure Printer Setup. All published connections are constantly

checked for the presence of jobs. The Print queue and Direct connection give remote

users more direct access to the Fiery X3e than the Hold queue. Therefore, do not

publish the Print queue and the Direct connection in environments where maximum

control is desired.

Chapter 3:Preparing forFiery X3e Setup

33-2 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup


48/190

3In addition, you can enable the Printed queue, which is a storage area for the mostrecent jobs from the Print queue. The Printed queue makes it convenient to reprint

those jobs. In Setup, you can enable the Printed queue and specify the maximum

number of jobs retained in the queue (see page 4-8). Reprinting jobs in the Printed

queue requires the job management tools.

To use the Fiery utilities and WebTools, you must enable at least one of the

printconnections.

Hold queue

Jobs sent to the Hold queue are spooled to the Fiery X3e hard disk drive for printing at

a later time or for reprinting. Because the Hold queue is a storage place, jobs sent to it

cannot proceed through the printing process until the operator intervenes using the

job management tools (see the Job Management Guide).

Print queue

This is the standard Fiery X3e queue. Jobs sent to the Print queue are processed and

printed in the order they are received. Jobs prioritized by an operator with the job

management tools and jobs sent via the Direct connection can take priority over jobs

sent to the Print queue.

Direct connectionThe Direct connection transmits jobs directly to the Fiery X3e, but only when the

Fiery X3e is Idle. If the Fiery X3e is busy, the job remains at the user workstation until

the Fiery X3e is ready. The job is then processed as soon as the previous job is finished

and before the next queued job is processed.

NOTE: The Direct connection is not supported for LPR printing.

Jobs sent to the Direct connection are not stored on the Fiery X3e hard disk drive, and

cannot be selected for reprinting, moving, or deletion. Therefore, the Direct

connection provides a measure of security for sensitive files. Jobs sent to the Direct

connection do appear in the Job Log, for accounting purposes.

NOTE: To download fonts to the Fiery X3e, you must publish the Direct connection.

49/190

3PasswordsYou can implement passwords as a means of controlling access to Fiery X3e functions.

The Fiery X3e allows you to set the following passwords in Setup:

Administratorremotely from Command WorkStation, or locally from the Control

Panel

Operatorfrom Command WorkStation or Fiery WebSetup

NOTE: By default, no passwords are set on the Fiery X3e. If you do not specificallyset passwords, all users will have administrator privileges, which include access to

important functions such as Setup (including setting passwords), and job control.

We strongly recommendthat you set at leastan Administrator password to protect

the Fiery X3e from random or accidental changes to Setup.

Administrator privileges

Administrator control, which confers control of Setup, is the highest level of control,since the person who has access to Setup can control the printing and job management

environment. Administrator privileges include publishing print connections, setting

passwords, deleting fonts, controlling print jobs from the job management tools,

overriding job settings, clearing the Fiery X3e of all job data, performing calibration,

defining default color profiles, and setting default values for print options.

When performing a function from the Fiery X3e Control Panel that prompts you forthe Administrator password, you must enter it promptly. Otherwise, the Fiery X3e

Control Panel returns to Idle, and you must start over again.

Operator privileges

Operator control includes control of print jobs from the job management tools,

including the ability to override job settings.

Guest privileges (no password)

No password is needed for a user to log in as a Guest from the job management tools.

A Guest can view the status of active jobs but cannot make changes to jobs or to the

Fiery X3e state.

33-4 Preparing for Fiery X3e Setup


50/190

3WebToolsThe Fiery X3e supports Internet or intranet access with WebTools from Windows and

Mac OS computers. To enable use of WebTools, you must do the following in Setup:

Enable TCP/IP.

Set an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the Fiery X3e.

Enable Web Services.

For more information, see Chapter 6.

You can set passwords to control access to WebTools features. If you do not specifically

set these passwords, all users have access to all WebTools functions (see page 3-3).

WebTools include Status, WebLink, WebScan WebDownloader, WebSetup, and

Installer.

Status

The Status WebTool provides you with current information on the jobs processing and

printing on the Fiery X3e. It is not affected by passwords. For more information, see

the Printing Guide.



51/190

WebLinkWebLink provides all users with a link to an address on the Internet. To change the

WebLink Internet address, see page 6-3. This function requires the Administrator

password, if one has been set (see Passwords on page 3-3).

NOTE: If you do not set the Administrator password, any user can change the WebLink

address, which affects all users. For this reason, we strongly recommendthat you set an

Administrator password.

WebScan

With WebScan, you can retrieve scanned documents from a computer on the Internet

or your organizations intranet. It is not affected by passwords. For more information,

see the Printing Guide.

WebDownloader

WebDownloader allows you to print PostScript, EPS, PDF, and TIFF files directly to

the Fiery X3e without first opening the file in an application. It is not affected

bypasswords.

WebSetup

WebSetup allows you to view and modify Fiery X3e Setup options from a remote

workstation. This function requires an Administrator password. For more information,

see Chapter 5.

NOTE: WebSetup is supported on Windows computers only.

Installer

The Installer WebTool allows
